What if I told you that the people behind the Russian conspiracy theory are the same people behind the chaos on Election Day?

Because it's true.

2/ In 2016, lawyer Marc Elias and his firm Perkins Coie were working for Hilary Clinton when they paid for the Russian dossier  -  which then led to FBI spying and years of media hysteria.

Now guess who's behind the 22 lawsuits that have pushed states to expand mail-in voting?

3/ Yes, Marc Elias and Perkins Coie.

Let's look at Pennsylvania to see how it works. 

Back in May, Elias represented the Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans (PARA) in one of those lawsuits. 

But this single line from PARA's website reveals who he's really representing:

4/ "The Pennsylvania Alliance appreciates the assistance from Priorities USA in this litigation."

Priorities USA just happens to be the biggest super PAC behind Biden's election campaign. 

It was Biden's campaign loosening PA's election rules, and they started months ago.

5/ But there's more to this story. 

When Elias and Perkins Coie filed that Pennsylvania lawsuit in May, they were joined by a local lawyer named Adam Bonin.

Bonin would go on to represent the Democrats in later cases against Trump in the state.

Here's the thing about Bonin.

6/ In 2015, he was the attorney Judge Kevin Dougherty when Dougherty campaigned - successfully - for Pennsylvania's Supreme Court.

There's more. Much more.

7/ In another thread I showed who funded the 2015 campaigns of Dougherty and 2 other candidates for the Supreme Court.

The Soros-backed Democracy Alliance, which sent the money through a group called PA Alliance.

Guess who appears on the paperwork when PA Alliance was founded?

8/ Yes, Adam Bonin. His office was their first address.

There's more.

Those 3 judges elected in 2015  (Kevin Dougherty, David Wecht and Christine Donohue ) were also funded by a group called Fairness PA.

Guess who was treasurer at Fairness PA?

Yes, Adam Bonin.

9/ This is a lot to unpack. I'll write a story soon.

But let's recap the two main points before ending.

One, this year's election chaos started with multiple lawsuits filed earlier this year, and the lawyers were the same people who helped cooked up the fake Russian conspiracy

10/ Two, in Pennsylvania the Democrats turned to Adam Bonin for their lawsuits. 

And Bonin just happened to be behind the money that helped elect the same Supreme Court judges who would hear these lawsuits.

This is what Trump is up against. This is what the country has become.
